— WHAT IS WORK OPTIMISATION —
Eliminate Waste. Improve Flow.
Measurable Results, Fast Payback.
Work Optimisation is systematic process improvement — identifying and eliminating the wastes hidden in your daily manufacturing and business operations. Waiting, rework, over-processing, excess inventory, unnecessary motion — these invisible costs drain profitability without appearing on any single line of your P&L. Prism makes them visible and then eliminates them.
What Every Optimisation Project Includes
Process Efficiency & Lean Implementation
Time Study
Analyze cycle times and operational bottlenecks
Lean Tools
Implement 5S, Kaizen, and Value Stream Mapping
Automation
Identify manual processes for automation upgrades
SOPs
Standardize work procedures across all shifts
Training
Train workforce on new optimized workflows
KPI Tracking
Set up metrics to monitor sustained improvement
Visible waste is only the tip of the iceberg — most waste is hidden
Most manufacturing companies have optimised the obvious. The remaining waste is embedded in workflow sequencing, information delays, over-processing, unnecessary approvals, and machine settings. Process efficiency audits reveal waste that management has stopped seeing because it became 'normal'.
SOPs that are not followed create more problems than having no SOPs
Poorly written SOPs — too long, too theoretical, too complex — are systematically ignored. The result: process variation, deviations, and GMP/audit observations. Prism writes SOPs that operators actually follow: visual, practical, short, and validated with the people who use them.
Lean tools must be adapted to your regulatory environment
Standard lean tools designed for automotive manufacturing need modification for pharmaceutical GMP, food safety FSSC 22000, and NABL laboratory environments. Prism has implemented lean in regulated environments where standard approaches break compliance requirements — we adapt, not just apply.

— HOW IT WORKS —
Work Optimisation — Step by Step
Current State Assessment
Comprehensive process walk-through and current state mapping — observe actual operations, map material and information flows, measure cycle times, identify waiting, rework, overproduction, and other wastes. Interview operators, supervisors, and managers. Quantify baseline performance: OEE, cycle time, defect rate, throughput.
Gap Analysis & Root Cause
Identify gaps between current performance and achievable benchmarks for your industry and process type. Root cause analysis of identified waste and inefficiency — 5-Why analysis, fishbone diagrams, and process constraint mapping. Prioritise improvement opportunities by impact and ease of implementation.
Future State Design
Design the optimised future state — revised process flows, standard work sequences, improved material flows, layout modifications, and technology interventions. Calculate projected performance improvement and financial impact (cost reduction, throughput increase, lead time reduction) for management approval.
SOP & Standard Work Development
Write SOPs, work instructions, and standard work sheets for all revised processes — GMP-compliant format for pharmaceutical; customer-specific format for automotive; generic best-practice format for other industries. Visual management aids: process flow charts, inspection checklists, operator guides.
Implementation & Kaizen
Facilitate implementation: 5S workplace organisation, SMED changeover reduction events, Kaizen workshops, operator training on new SOPs. Support change management — front-line operator buy-in is critical for sustainable improvement. Prism stays on-site during implementation, not just in planning.
Measurement & Sustaining
Establish KPI dashboards and performance measurement systems. Track actual vs. projected improvement. Conduct 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day follow-up reviews. Sustaining mechanisms: leader standard work, daily management systems, monthly performance reviews, and continuous improvement programme embedding.

What Our Optimisation Clients Say
Prism's process efficiency audit identified 14 non-value-added steps in our batch production workflow. The lean implementation reduced batch cycle time by 23% and improved yield by 4.5%. The payback was less than 4 months. Prism's team understood chemical plant constraints — they didn't bring a textbook approach, they adapted lean tools to our specific process chemistry.
We engaged Prism for SOP writing and workflow gap analysis across our oral solid dosage facility. The SOPs were GMP-compliant, practically written, and immediately adopted by our operators. The gap analysis identified 6 critical workflow bottlenecks that had been causing recurring deviations. Excellent work — thorough, practical, and delivered on time.
Prism's lean manufacturing support for our packaging and dispatch operations delivered measurable results: 30% reduction in changeover time, 18% improvement in OEE, and significant reduction in packing material wastage. The value stream mapping exercise was eye-opening for our management team — visible waste that we had stopped noticing.

Work Optimisation Consulting Disclaimer
Efficiency improvement projections quoted during process audits are estimates based on observed current state performance and industry benchmarks — actual results depend on implementation quality, management commitment, workforce engagement, and process complexity. Prism supports implementation but final outcomes are the responsibility of the client organisation. SOP documents developed by Prism are templates based on information provided by the client and require client review, validation, and approval before use in regulated environments.
